  "summary": "BACKGROUND: Aphids damage crops through sustained feeding and by rapid transmission of plant viruses, processes that are not effectively prevented by conventional insecticides. The sugarcane aphid (Melanaphis sacchari), an invasive pest of sorghum in the United States, can inoculate non-persistent viruses within minutes of probing. Disrupting feeding phases represents an alternative strategy in…",
